art in the everyday: an unbelievable water park.

Whoa. Grab that polka dot bikini. Beijing transformed the 2008 Olympic pool into a slammin’ awesome water park. Isn’t it arty?

Oh, snap. This piece is outrageously patterned in the most yummiest of ways.

a clip-on milk carton handle.

I don’t remember a handle-less milk carton being that high on my prioritized list of annoyances, but still — this is mad adorable.

Joseph was playing table tennis with his toes. Now he’s collecting rejected tape! Love this guy.

amy layton’s dark geometrics.

Amy Layton is a member of the creepy cool crowd, too. I just inducted her. I even waived the annual dues.

p.s. I found Amy through Twitter (thanks, Nicole!), which is where you can find ME. All the live long day.

objects of awesome.

Someday I, too, will make art from a paint-splattered balloon and other miscellaneous objects.

Until then, Peter will remain King of Random.

a 1950 boy scouts bandana.

How charming, yes? I suppose it would be even more charming if boys actually carried handkerchiefs these days.

Editor’s Note: Maybe not. Because handkerchiefs always sort of grossed me out.

the creepiest cool.

In life, there’s cool. And then there’s creepy cool.* Let me define the two for you:

Cool was the quarterback of your high school’s football team.
Creepy cool was your lab partner that started at you intently and wore a Styx tee and brown cardigan.

Olaf Hajek is a creepy cool artist. Which, from me, is pretty much the highest compliment EVER.

*Well, and then, of course, there’s just creepy.
